Lol. Meyers Leonard’s looks so good when he plays 6 footers all summer who have no chance of guarding him. If you think you know what Zion’s nba skill set is because he destroyed a bunch of guys who had 0 shot of guarding him than Great. I don’t. I don’t think it proved much of anything. I don’t know what you’re looking for at this point. I’m sure Zion will be a top 5 pick and be at least a solid nba player and maybe he ends up being great who knows but watching him his “skills” aren’t what popped out to me. Other than I think his handle for someone that big is legit, and his second jump is extremely quick. I’ve seen so many guys destroy teams just because they were much better athletes I have a hard time making judgements based off those situations.
Those are because he needs to work on his right hand. And that's the one "weakness" I've seen. doesn't Kid doesn't have a motor he's got a Flux Capacitor!
I presume he's saying that when watching a player against far inferior players, sometimes it's tough to project how effectively that skillset will translate to a higher level of competition.
Just gotta be able to know what translates and what doesnt. His feet are terrific, and his finishes are elite. Those translate.
Sekou Doumbouya. He’s Lamar Odom with an elite level work ethic and drive. Hell be playing in the top French league this season so there will be a lot of opportunity for him to grow, and from a personal standpoint; for me to watch him play. Too bad we wont suck enough to land any of these guys.
He's got a SWIFT lil’ right handed in and out dribble. If the defender moves in any way, he takes advantage. Then you're dealing with 280 lbs of "WTF are they feeding him!?!?!?!"
Yup. Watching him in high school he seemed raw and a little uncoordinated. Now, he's looked like he's grown into his body and looks much more agile, and now he's making 3s regularly and looks to have touch from 10-15ft. This dude will be a lotto pick IMO. Kinda reminds me of Collins (Albeit, I haven't watched him enough to see how smart of a helpside defender he is but he was touted as a rim protector in high school).
Some international flavor Outside of Doumbouya, who’s probably a top 5 lock, here are my two favorite guys 1. Deividas Sirvydis. 6’8 wing from Lithuania. Saw him at the u18 championships. Smart player that does a bit of everything, like most Euros. Good ballhandler and playmaker. Smooth shot. Can’t find an individual highlight tape from the championships so here’s this 2. Luka Saminic. 6’11 power forward from Croatia. Another guy I saw at u18s. Could probably also play some center in today’s NBA. Great athlete for his size. Can handle the ball a lot better than most guys his height. He’s a lot more raw than Sirvydis and is more of a project but I love his upside because he has two way potential. He might be a guy that flies up draft boards.
Ja Morant is legit. Just watched this dudes highlights.. he reminds me of a mix between Dame and Westbrook.
